Digital asset platform Anchorage Digital unveiled moves to bolster its Bank Secrecy Act/anti-money laundering (BSA/AML) compliance staff less than a year removed from being called out by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) for deficiencies in the area.
Among the moves, announced Tuesday, Anchorage Digital welcomed Mark duBose as its new chief compliance and risk officer, Dustin Palmer as interim BSA officer, and Mo Abdoolraman as interim head of know your customer (KYC). The hiring of duBose is pending regulatory approval, as is the promotion of Rachel Anderika from chief risk officer to chief operating officer.
Other new additions include Frieder Weichelt as chief information security officer (CISO); Daniel Sankey as head of financial intelligence unit; Scott Schwartz as deputy BSA officer, in addition to his responsibilities as Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) officer; and Jessica Perkins as enterprise risk management lead.
